A routing information processing method and apparatus. The method includes a first network device determines a first segment identifier corresponding to a second network device and a first locator. The first network device determines a second segment identifier corresponding to a third network device and a second locator. The first network device sends routing information that includes the first segment identifier and the second segment identifier. A fourth network device advertises mirror routing information specific to the first network device, where the mirror routing information includes the second segment identifier or the second locator.
Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.
5. The first network device according to claim 1, wherein the routing information comprises first routing information and second routing information, wherein the first routing information comprises the first segment identifier, and wherein the second routing information comprises the second segment identifier.
6. The first network device according to claim 1, wherein both the first segment identifier and the second segment identifier are VPN SIDs.
8. The first network device according to claim 7, wherein the routing information from the third network device comprises first routing information and second routing information, wherein the first routing information comprises the first device identifier of the fourth network device and the first segment identifier corresponding to the first device identifier, and wherein the second routing information comprises the second device identifier of the second network device and the second segment identifier corresponding to the second device identifier.
10. The first network device according to claim 7, wherein the computer program when executed by the processor further cause the first network device to: send, before receiving the routing information, fourth routing information to the third network device, wherein the fourth routing information indicates a route to the second network device.
17. The system according to claim 13, wherein the routing information comprises first routing information and second routing information, wherein the first routing information comprises the first device identifier of the second network device and the first segment identifier, and the second routing information comprises the second device identifier of the third network device and the second segment identifier.
19. The system according to claim 18, wherein the fourth network device is further configured to: send, before receiving the routing information, third routing information to the first network device, wherein the third routing information indicates a route to the second network device.
